    Yes, I was originally scheduled to pull 385 for my heavy set today. I think I would have still been able to go for more than the 3 basic reps (4 or 5 maybe?), but I'd rather put myself in a position to progress for a longer time.

    That's in response to your thread title. I'm about two weeks late, but I think I still nailed it.

    Sgsolberg, I've been doing the 531 BBB routine starting this past week. I love being done in an hour and the recovery period seems to work a lot better for me than TM. But goddam I was sore after 3 squat worksets and then 5 sets of 10.

    Yeah, the DOMS are for realz on this program. I can feel my hammies today after squatting Tuesday and DLing yesterday. On the plus side, I find it really easy to recover from.

    In fact, it's the little things I notice the most... you know... pitching a tent more often, being more pleasant, not feeling like I'm going to kill someone when I leave the gym...

    I more or less wanted to get in and out of the gym today. I'm exhausted from traveling, and definitely didn't eat well enough this weekend.
